2. Identify the faculty members in your psychology department whose backgrounds are in experimental, developmental, social, cognitive, or biopsychology. Select one whose research area interests you and ask them to provide you a reference for a research article that is important in their subfield. Read the article and develop one or two questions about it. Consider posing these questions to the faculty member, either in person during their office hours or by email.

Inquiries and conversations such as these are important in helping you determine what areas of research you find compelling.
